I was recently asking the same question. I found an ICOM IC-821H at a bargain price and it works great without having made a major expenditure.

Go to amsat website and order the book "getting started in amateur satellites" by Gould Smith, WA4SXM. This book is a great primer and answers all your questions. The "what is the best radio?" question has been answered so many times on the BB. Look back at the archives of the BB (also at the website) and find out. Radios use are a personal item -Portable? Base? Mobile? In the end, whatever you feel comfortable with using is THE radio to use.

I am using a Yeasu VX7 handheld and am hearing the satellite but not reaching them. I would like to work all of the satellites. I am saving money and looking for a radio. Once more what is the best radio to work the satellites and why do you think this. THANKS for the information in advance _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
